Child Safety Week

20-26 June 2011

 

The theme for this year's Child Safety Week was "Take a second look for safety" - this can mean taking a second look to make sure that hot drinks are out of the way of small hands.

180 CHILDREN ARE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WITH HOT DRINK SCALDS EVERY DAY. Why not implement a Cold Drinks Policy in your setting when young children are present.
